How World of Knowledge Works

World of Knowledge is an English language board game in which players travel from the centre of the board, clockwise around the outer track, and back to the centre. Movement is earned — a player must correctly answer a question to advance the number of squares they rolled. An incorrect answer means they stay in place and wait for their next turn.

For English Language Learners

The game was originally designed for learners of English in Myanmar, but the questions cover everyday English vocabulary, grammar, and general knowledge topics that are relevant to learners from any country. It works well at pre-intermediate to intermediate level (roughly A2–B1).

Classroom and Group Use

The game plays best in small groups of three to six. Players take turns rolling the dice, attempting a question from the card pack, and moving forward if they answer correctly. The question-and-answer mechanic keeps every turn interactive — even players waiting for their turn listen to the questions and answers, reinforcing vocabulary and structures naturally.

What Is Included in the Download?

No account required. Click the download button, save the ZIP, extract both files, and print. You can be playing within minutes.

Using Your Own Question Cards

The board works with any question set. Teachers often create their own cards — targeting specific vocabulary from a unit, grammar structures they are practising, or topic-based comprehension questions. The board stays the same; only the card content changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do players move around the board in World of Knowledge?

Players start at the centre of the board and travel clockwise around the outer track, then back to the centre. On each turn, a player rolls the dice and must correctly answer a question to advance that number of squares. An incorrect answer means they stay in place and wait for their next turn.

Who is World of Knowledge designed for?

The game was originally created for learners of English in Myanmar, but the question topics — grammar, vocabulary, and everyday English — are suitable for English language learners from any country. It works well at pre-intermediate to intermediate level (roughly A2–B1 on the CEFR scale).

What is included in the download?

The download is a single ZIP file containing the printable game board (PDF) and the complete set of World of Knowledge question cards (PDF). Print both, cut the cards, and you are ready to play.

Can I use my own question cards instead of the included ones?

Yes. The board works with any set of questions. You can create your own cards on vocabulary, grammar, science, or any other topic and use them instead of — or alongside — the World of Knowledge cards.
